Fits right into my theory from yesterday! Please let me be right ... please let me be rightCopied your comment from yesterday so members could see it: Earlier I said: So what do you guys think? New album Feb/March-ish including new single. Promo discussing both his new music and QAL with one-offs singing his music. QAL performs the new single in the Rhapsody tour and all the people who are at QAL rush to see Adam in his new tour in Sep/Oct-ish. I have the feeling this album will be the most vocally driven of all. Lots of feels and fun and attitude! I think this is the most likely scenario. Although album release could be in Jan. But I don't see Adam doing a full fledged solo tour till after QAL in the US. The Summer 2019 QAL tour gives him such a great opportunity to advertise for his solo tour in the US! Just think if they announced during each QAL that Adam will be going on a solo tour!!

I‘m not that sure about that scenario. The music world keeps spinning faster and faster. My feeling is, that era 4 will unfold very different from the ones before. I don’t really know, but my impression is, that new singles are no longer promoted for such a long time. They either connect or they don’t. Streaming is a good sign to see, what works. Adam has 6 months until QAL. We don’t know, when the first single and the album are going to drop. But if they dropped early, a tour would be possible. The OH-tour lasted about 3 months on the whole (not counting the off-time in February 2016). I don’t say, it’s likely, but it would make more sense to me.Because I‘m sure, that QAL will go on touring the rest of the world after the US tour and strike as long as the iron his hot (after the success of the movie) with only short pauses. I think, it’s unlikely, that they would take a pause of half a year or so after that leg. It all comes down to the question: When will album number 4 be ready to go?

I am officially getting excited!!!! Me too! I just looked at his other stories. To me, it looks like a stage set-up. Why is Adam working with „his band“ on a stage? There's a couch on the far right. Looks more like studio or rehearsal space to me.

Looks more like studio or rehearsal space to me. Yes, but a huge one. The ceiling must be very high. I actuallymeant, the set-up of the instruments looks like one on a stage. Take a look at the drum-kit, which his placed on its own little pedestral. There are also boxes to transport the equipment. That means, it isn’t a studio, imo.

I have no idea what is going on but I agree with you here. The music industry is so fast moving now that old models may not apply. Adam has never been a big album seller and his singles move very slowly up the charts (thanks to radio in US not making him a favorite and his label not pushing hard enough, imo) that he only gets one heavily promoted single and maybe a second thrown out there. If he waited too long to tour because he wants to see how it does, the album would be dead and radio play would have dried up. I really hope he has a label and they promote him in a different way this time. If he is Indie then it does not matter anyway. Radio in the US rarely touches Indie artists and they can tour whenever they want. But I am going to keep the faith that he does have a label behind him. Streaming is great and the future but the ones enjoying big success still need and get radio exposure in the US and internationally with label support.

If Adam wanted to self-finance a tour he could do it anytime he wanted. However, I think Adam is more financially astute than this. He would want a tour promoter who will take most of the financial risk. To take that risk, a tour promoter needs to be convinced that an Adam tour would be profitable. A number of things would go into that risk assessment; how well the music is doing on radio and streaming sources in the US, past tour profitability, time since last tour, artist buzz, etc. We did not get a US tour for Trespassing while other parts of the world did. This suggests that no US tour promoter was willing to assume the financial risk of promoting a US Adam tour. Or that the contract they offered was not favorable/acceptable to Adam. The same thing could happen for A4 if the album and/or singles do not do well in the US.

How do all the other artists do it, who promote their albums through a tour? I remember, that some artists scratched some shows or a whole tour, because it didn’t sell. But that’s not too often. It usually works fine. Adam has been constantly touring with Queen. They usually use the same promoters. He wouldn’t have any problem in Australia for instance or in other countries. I‘m not completely sure about the US. But his last solo tour sold very well and the Queen tours do as well. So this should be enough credit to give it a try. I think, it would be possibleto find a promoter, because this way of touring is more and more common by now.

This form of touring may require Adam to take a smaller cut of the profits in exchange for the promoter taking a larger financial risk. Up to Adam to decide if he wants to do that. And given that Adam has been able to tour in other countries when he did not in the US, if he wants to tour right away I would expect that to happen outside the US first. And then a US solo tour after the US QAL tour.
